IT Career and Job Placement within a Technology Staffing Company
Faced with rapid technological change and the constant need to operate "lean," companies are increasingly
turning to TEKsystems® to help them execute challenging IT projects and deployments. We provide
a wide range of technology services from talented and skilled IT professionals to turnkey project outsourcing;
that’s where you come in. There are many flexible, lucrative positions available that may be
perfect for your talents and career ambitions.
We recognize that our success is only achieved by building and maintaining strong, long-term
relationships with our technical professionals. When we say “technical professional” we’re
referring to you – the talented IT professionals who fill positions with our clients. Working
with us, you’ll have access to the best recruiters in the industry and the
most successful and thorough
placement process to place you in jobs where you can excel, develop your abilities, apply
your expertise, and build a career.
As part of our long-term commitment to our technical professionals, we invest in your growth and provide the
professional development opportunities you need. We have invested in the most comprehensive support and
training technology available with our Virtual Support Community.
Current employees can log onto the VSC and gain
access to technical training courses, technical libraries, an e-mail account, and support forums with other
TEKsystems contract employees. If you have access to the Web, you’ll have access to a whole community of
support. Outside the VSC, we also offer a number of tools to assist you with your career development.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have never worked for a staffing company, you may have questions about
our hiring and placement process, and about
what advantages it might have compared to obtaining a permanent position. Below you’ll find answers
to the most commonly asked questions.
Will I make decent money?
Yes. Our customers have come to expect talented professional contract employees from us. As you might
expect, these technical professionals require and deserve competitive salaries - and that’s exactly what we
pay. In fact, in many cases, you can actually make more money doing contract work with a staffing
company than you can in a permanent position.
Does TEKsystems offer any benefits?
Yes, TEKsystems currently contributes 50% of the cost of single benefits for our contract
employees. Coverage for contractors includes, medical, dental, vision, and out of country.
Visit the Alternative Benefits Solutions site for
more details.
As of July 4, 2006, we also offer two benefit plans to our Sole Proprietor and
Incorporated Contractors: the Menuflex Select Program and Menuflex MDSA Program. To avoid
creating an employer-employee relationship, these plans will be wholly contractor paid.
Who pays for this recruiting service, the hiring company or me?
Our recruiting services are completely free to you, the job seeker. Companies who partner
with us to find talented employees pay for the service.
How long do the assignments last?
The length of the assignment varies according to our client company's needs. Some are
short-term and some are long-term. TEKsystems' recruiters are the best in the industry
and will work with you to determine when you work, where you work, and what you want
to do on the job. So if you are looking for long-term assignments with 40-hour work
weeks, then we'll strive to put you in that type of assignment; however, the assignments are
subject to our clients’ needs.
How and when am I paid?
Contract employees are paid weekly by TEKsystems. Typically contract employees are paid based on the
number of hours worked and the position's pay rate; however, in some cases contract employees are paid a
salary.
Where are your offices?
TEKsystems has offces throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe. Find the
TEKsystems office nearest you.
Do you offer any training?
Yes. We want to help you build a career, not find a job, so we offer numerous opportunities for personal
and professional growth. You can enhance your technical skills and gain certifications through our training
services, computer-based training, and our exclusive Virtual Support Community (VSC). We also offer
professional and management training for our contract employees.
